What guests think
Across reviews, Captain Lock's Cottage is praised for its quiet Rhyll setting with lovely bay views, a short walk to the water and pier, and a relaxing, character-filled atmosphere that suits families, couples, and friends seeking an easy coastal escape.
Guests frequently highlight spacious interiors, comfortable beds, and period features like the open fireplace, verandah, and multiple sitting areas. Cleanliness and upkeep are generally strong, and several note a warm, helpful host. A few reviews mention downsides: firewood not supplied for the fireplace, occasional cleaning or garden attention needed, and unclear linen information or requirements. Expect a peaceful, heritage-style stay with homey comfort.

Apart from having to provide our own sheets and towels everything else was perfect! Just don’t open windows as most are broken and the fireplace was blocked or not cleaned so smoke was coming into the room, the size and location is perfect and we all enjoyed our time together in the house

Cute cottage, surprisingly spacious with great character. Quiet with nice view of the water from the rear balcony. Comfy beds. On the downside, no wood or kindling provided for the fire at all and very basic tea/coffee supplies - we had to go to Cowes to buy everything. Kitchen not very clean - grease splatter over the kettle and the light over the bench with bugs stuck on it. Information folder provided quite out of date. Garden was overgrown and indoor plants all wilting when we arrived. Just felt like it needed a bit more love and attention to detail to take it up a notch..

A lovely old cottage with all mod cons in a quiet street just a minutes walk to the water. Views of western port bay from the deck, and it was lovely to be able to open all the doors and take advantage of the wrap around verandah and the multiple sitting areas to just relax with a book and a drink. Our second time staying here and hopefully not the last.

The three of us loved the cottage. Beautiful water views. Lovely verandah to sit with a cuppa or wine. Spacious, beds comfortable, peaceful. Easy walk to jetty and cafe. We came across Outback Chef's Wild Food Farm. Had a lovely breakfast and meander through their bush trail. Walking distance from cottage. Highly recommend staying at Captain Lochs.

I had an amazing stay at this home in Rhyll! The place felt incredibly homely, with a beautiful garden that was perfect for relaxing and soaking in the peaceful surroundings. It’s just a quick walk from the beach, so I could enjoy the ocean breeze and stunning views whenever I wanted. The house itself is gorgeous, with thoughtfully chosen furniture that gives it a cozy, welcoming feel. The host clearly put a lot of effort into creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, and it shows in every detail. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway by the beach, I highly recommend this stay. It’s truly a gem, and I can’t wait to return!
